Kubernetes administrators often struggle with maintaining consistency across distributed nodes, managing OS updates, and preventing configuration drift in large-scale containerized environments. Wouldn't it be great if there is a way to generate the distribution using a container file like we do for application images? With bootable containers (bootc) you can do it.

In this demo-centric presentation, we will explore how bootc can simplify operating system management by treating itself as an immutable container image. Using a local Kind cluster on Podman Desktop, we will demonstrate how to create and deploy images, showcasing its advantages in maintaining consistency and security across clusters and edge nodes. By treating the OS as a container image, we can take advantage of existing container workflows, making updates and rollbacks atomic and version-controlled.

Attendees will learn how they can use their container-building skills to manage their distro images as well.
